I'd appreciate any help, coz boilers ain't my strong point!

The boiler won't start when I switch it on, therm on max.
The fan light is on and boiler light is on. I hear a low humming noise.

There's no pilot light and both the pilot light light and burner light are off.

We had BG out a few months back when it wouldn't start, he unclipped the front, tapped then lubbed the fan and all was well.

Any thoughts guys?
 
That humming your hearing is more than likely a seized fan,if the fan dont turn,the ignition sequence will not start,therefore no burner working.I do hope this has been of help to you,if the probs still persist,do not hesitate to ask any further questions of this Forum.
 
Thanks mully, I think you're right. I'd like to unclip the front myself and give the fan a tap and see if that'll fix it.

However, I'm not sure if it's dangerous to unclip the front to do that? Am I exposing anything?
 
I coulndnt possibly tell you remove screws at bottom of casing,lift off,squirt some wd40 onto spindle of fan,then spin manually. Make sure all electrics are isolated to boiler before attempting this.refit cover and give her a whirl,Bingo
 
refit cover and give her a whirl...BOOM! ;)


You are all helpfulness and charm tonight Mully.

I must say I find it quite un-nerving.
 
I removed the cover and had a poke, the fan started after a bit of coercion! It took several goes as the fan was sticking. However, the boiler is now lit and we're in action.

I'm out of WD40, but I'll get some tomorrow and give it a squirt at the top of spindle.

The fan obviously isn't knackered (not yet anyway) so hopefully it was just sticking.

Thanks to mully, this may well have saved me a few quid (famous last words).

Goodness, a series of sensible posts. Seriously, though, research source and cost of nrew fan - it WILL stop again. I fitted one years ago and it was more than 80 notes, I think.
